Wrong player rotation will have a bad impact on the result and maybe this is an important lesson for Maresca. Chelsea did not play like usual in the first half or in the second half and I saw there were many mistakes made by players that made the game much less optimal. Ipswich are not a tough opponent and this should have been an opportunity for Chelsea to maintain their second position in the standings but losing this match has dropped them to fourth in the standings.

Ipswich didn't have many chances and a successful penalty by Delap put Ipswich ahead before Hutchinson opened the scoring for a second goal in the 53rd minute. A very painful defeat for Chelsea because they should have won the match to stay in second place in the standings.

I didn't see this coming, and I was disappointed towards Chelsea's performance yesterday. How will they allow a weak team like Ipswich to get three points easily yesterday. Maresca needs to try and stable the club performance so that they can be consistent. Otherwise, Chelsea might keep going down the table. Two consecutive losses is not a mistake, but a decline in performance.

While watching Premier League games you have well-prepared for surprises like these because we have history of results like these with Chelsea surely suffering as their key player Palmer is out of touch after coming from injury and their attack is having no depth which helps them for creating chances in last three games we have terrible Chelsea badly down and now their difference of points is also 10 from leaders Liverpool at the half of season mean chances going to end for title challenge.

Now we have their next opponent Crystal Palace which have first won after few games, so their confidence level is high, and London derbies are mostly having pressure on teams, so things could be not easy for them in near year first game which can surely give them more problematic result.
